Automatic. [Obs.] ``Automatous organs.' --Sir T. Browne. Automixte carAutomixte system Au`to*mixte" system (Mach.)
A system (devised by Henri Pieper, a Belgian) of driving
automobiles employing a gasoline engine and an auxiliary
reversible dynamo. When there is an excess of power the
dynamo is driven by the engine so as to charge a small
storage battery; when there is a deficiency of power the
dynamo reverses and acts as an auxiliary motor. Sometimes
called Pieper system. -- Automixte car, etc. Automixte systemAutomixte system Au`to*mixte" system (Mach.)

An automobile vehicle or mechanism; esp., a self-propelled
vehicle suitable for use on a street or roadway. Automobiles
are usually propelled by internal combustion engines (using
volatile inflammable liquids, as gasoline or petrol, alcohol,
naphtha, etc.), steam engines, or electric motors. The power
of the driving motor varies from about 4 to 50 H. P. for
ordinary vehicles, ranging from the run-about to the touring
car, up to as high as 200 H. P. for specially built racing
cars. Automobiles are also commonly, and generally in British
usage, called motor cars. AutomobilismAutomobilism Au`to*mo"bil*ism, n.
The use of automobiles, or the practices, methods, or the

Tautomeric Tau`to*mer"ic, a. (Chem.)
Relating to, or characterized by, tautomerism.
Tautomerism
Tautomerism Tau*tom"er*ism, n. [Gr. ?; ?, for ? ? the same + ?
part.] (Chem.)
The condition, quality, or relation of metameric substances,
or their respective derivatives, which are more or less
interchangeable, according as one form or the other is the
more stable. It is a special case of metamerism; thus, the
lactam and the lactim compounds exhibit tautomerism.
Vickers-Maxim automatic machine gun
Vickers-Maxim automatic machine gun Vick"ers-Max"im automatic
machine gun
An automatic machine gun in which the mechanism is worked by
the recoil, assisted by the pressure of gases from the
muzzle, which expand in a gas chamber against a disk attached
to the end of the barrel, thus moving the latter to the rear
with increased recoil, and against the front wall of the gas
chamber, checking the recoil of the system.
